Details

This project has investigated how to quantify the total amount of methane being emitted from an onshore oil and gas site. This quantification involves combining measurements of methane concentrations with, for example, wind speed and direction, and may also require computer modelling to calculate the methane emission rate.

The study considered how the methods for measuring methane can be chosen systematically so that, when combined with other data and techniques, they give estimates of whole-site emissions that are appropriate for different purposes.
